so today I am showing you guys three different energy byte or energy ball
recipes that are gonna make the perfect snack or a little something either even
as a pre-workout post-workout something in your handbag school work whatever
they're very versatile they keep in the fridge - or the freezer if you want to
make like 20 of them and save them these are definitely something I depend on all
the time for when you need a quick snack full of good healthy fats are gonna be
satisfying keep you full and fibre - so let's go ahead and get into the energy
balls so the first flavor we are making is lemon zest and we're gonna start off
with some almond flour rich in protein vitamin E and healthy fats some ground
flax which adds a ton of fiber in fiber and not only it feeds your healthy gut
bacteria but also helps keep you full and it's just overall really good for
your digestion adding in some almond butter and then about a tablespoon of
lemon juice lemon is great it's loaded with vitamin C it's hydrating and it
makes it a little bit different than any other energy belt because it's more
refreshing because of the lemon and then I'm just destined some of the skin off
the same half the lemon about a teaspoon more or less you don't have to be super
precise with that and then I'm adding in just a little bit of honey you can
definitely use maple syrup if you're vegan but I really like the combo of the
lemon and the honey together plus because we aren't cooking of the honey
we get all the amazing benefits from the raw honey which is really really good so
then once it your dough is all mixed together go ahead and round it into
balls so this made six balls for me each of the recipes makes about six balls and
you can keep them in the fridge or if you're not gonna eat them I would say
within a week I would store them in the freezer so it's great because her
freezer friendly and there you have your wonderfully delicious lemon zest energy
balls or energy bites perfect little snack next up we are making a chocolate
espresso if you haven't been able to tell from my videos I've been loving
this combo lately so I'm using some cacao which is great because it's loaded
antioxidants because we're not cooking it we still get all those great benefits
a little bit of espresso for some flavor and some coffee extract but you can
definitely use vanilla I just had coffee extract my figure might as well for this
recipe a little bit of maple syrup and some almond butter so this one is a
really great energy bite flavor because it's literally going to give you a
little boost of energy from a little bit of espresso it is separating to about
six bowls so it's definitely a lot less than even an espresso shot or a coffee
but it does have a little bit so it gives you that little pick-me-up if you
need it in the morning or that afternoon slump plus it has a wonderful flavor of
the chocolate and the coffee definitely brings it out so it's a really a winning
combo and then we are making some tahini cinnamon tahini is great because it's
not as sweet it's a little bit more bitter compared to like your almond
butter but it still has really great benefits so it's basically it's
ground-up sesame seeds which are really high in meth I mean and Messiah is
something that your body needs in order to function properly then I'm adding in
some coconut flour as well as some cinnamon cinnamon is great for blood
sugar regulation also for any kind of sugar cravings a little touch of maple
syrup for sweetness especially with the tahini a little bit of chia seeds which
are gonna add omega-3s and fiber and really help to make this a nice filling
energy bite slash ball so then just mix that up until you get your nice thick
dough again and again you're gonna be separating this in two balls so mine
made about six balls and optional here you can roll this one or any of the
energy bytes into a topping of your choice so for this one I decided to roll
it in some hemp parts or hemp seeds which are loaded again with healthy fats
in lots of Omega 3s fiber and what's great about all of these recipes is the
fact that they're full of protein fiber and healthy fats all three of which
really help to not only satisfy those hunger cravings
but really give you that fuel you need when you're looking for a snack so cover
that in your hemp seeds and you are good to go you have a wonderfully delicious
tahini cinnamon energy bottle alright guys I hope you all enjoyed this video
